7.2 Using Xetex

If you set the LaTeX engine to xetex (you set this in the Document properties dialog, available on the Edit menu), then Ipe will use Xelatex to convert your text objects to PDF. Xetex supports Unicode natively, and will give you access to many scalable fonts on your system.

However, running LaTeX will take significantly longer than with Pdflatex, so you may want to turn off the automatic running of LaTeX in the File menu.

If your script uses right-to-left writing, you will need some more effort.
